Also I think Evil Coop was planning to clean up his loose ends regardless.

3 and 15 were the numbers on the electrical outlets in episode 3 as well.

Bad Coop is Cooper's evil doppelganger, who escaped the Lodge at the end of the original series in Cooper's place. In episode 3 Cooper leaves through the electrical socket and replaces Dougie, who is sent to the Lodge.

I wonder if Margaret's "I can't say more over the phone" is connected to the Fireman's "It cannot be said aloud now" in episode 1. Perhaps the evil spirits have the ability to hear over telephone lines; given Dark Coop's weird scrambling of the prison security system in episode 5, as well as the box in Argentina,…

"I'm actually the supernatural evil doppelganger of the FBI guy. Crazy, right?"

No one is advancing any argument, as far as I can tell, except "Some people think Lynch's use of violence is problematic," which, OK, I can't argue that some people do think that.

"Wow, Gordon, what a wild run for some great underdogs. But what about my beloved Atlanta Falcons?"

Do we know what she was credited as?

They're married.

Anyone notice the way time seemed to glitch out when Freddie threw a punch? I know other people have suggested he's in the jail to protect Naido, and that effect reminded me of her appearance in episode 3.

Episode 17: After the thrilling cliffhanger of episode 16, we get…. People we've never seen before at a Texas whorehouse.

He's really taking charge.

I thought the coordinates were what Ray gave him in episode 13. But you may be right if "Judy" is Garland.

Well, I don't think "you just can't depict certain things, ever," is a legitimate argument, and I'm not sure what other options there are.

I assumed they're doing the whole "keep everyone under their original seven-year contract but also extend the show as long as possible" thing that Mad Men did and The Sopranos more or less invented.

Aw, man, is the last line of this season going to be, "Who's Annie?"

The eyeless woman is credited as "Naido."
